People always think I'm a broken sleeve

The servants quickly led the two to the side door of the yamen.

Except for the master, the master, and the servants in the yamen, no one else is allowed to step into the yamen at will.

When he was in Ningxiang before, Zhuang Duxin didn't judge cases very much, he didn't like to judge cases, and he didn't know how to judge cases.

Whoever comes to the yamen, what to do in the yamen, even if it is to urinate in the yamen, he will not take it to heart.

Naturally, so the servants of the Zhuang Mansion don't have any rules.

But in Shi Wen...

Anyone who dares to trespass in the yamen will be killed with a stick if it is as light as [-] boards!

As for why such a heavy punishment...

I am afraid that only Shi Wen and Qin Ye know the reason.

The servant stood still outside the door and said, "My lord, we're here."

Su Bian looked up at the side door in front of him, and stepped into the yamen together with Long Jingying.

The layout of the yamen in Huai'an County is no different from that in Ningxiang.

But for some reason, Su Bian always felt that the yamen in front of him was much richer and richer than the yamen he had in Ningxiang.

As soon as he stepped into the yamen, Shi Wen greeted him with a smile, and said enthusiastically: "Your Excellency, I have come, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Naturally, Long Jingying's reaction was the same as usual.

Ignore, as if never heard.

Shi Wen had already expected it, so he wasn't surprised.

If Long Jingying accosted, Shi Wen would be surprised instead.

Long Jingying ignored, Shi Wen turned his gaze to Su Bian, and smiled enthusiastically at Su Bian.

In the past two days, Shi Wen's attitude hadn't been so enthusiastic, and this would suddenly be uncharacteristic, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed to have an ulterior motive.

Su Bian saw through Shi Wen, but he didn't.

He glanced at Shi Wen expressionlessly, cupped his hands, and saluted respectfully: "Master Shi."

Su Bian saluted Shi Wen respectfully, lowered his status, and acted like a servant.

But Shi Wen looked at Su Bian's "low-spirited" appearance, which was inexplicable, but he didn't feel the pleasure of having a different status at all.

On the contrary, after Su Bian called Lord Shengshi, he had an inexplicable urge to go up and curry favor with Su Bian.

...But what is he doing to curry favor with a servant?

Shi Wen felt weird in his heart, it was too awkward.

Putting this strange feeling behind him, Shi Wen ordered the yamen servant standing beside him to bring up a chair: "What are you still doing standing there? Hurry up and bring the chair over here!"

The two yamen servants took the order and immediately moved a chair over.

After the chair was brought in, Shi Wen laughed and said, "My lord, please sit down."

Long Jingying sat down unhurriedly, Shi Wen was about to go up and squeeze his shoulders, when Long Jingying raised her eyes and looked at him quietly, just one look made Shi Wen freeze in place land.

Shi Wen stopped in his footsteps, but in the end he still didn't dare to go forward.

Shi Wen coughed lightly, and then got to the point.

He pointed to the old woman kneeling on the ground in the lobby of the yamen and said: "Ms. Liao came to the yamen early in the morning to report that her four cows were stolen last night. But where she lives,

It's very remote, her family is the only one, if you want to steal, someone has to steal.Besides, who would be so exhausted to steal four cows?Not to mention how much money you can sell, how can you steal a cow?

?The cow walked for an hour, and she might have caught up with him in a stick of incense. "

After Shi Wen said that, the old woman who was kneeling in the hall kowtowed and said: "My family will never dare to lie! When those people stole the cattle yesterday, my family saw it with their own eyes!"

When Shi Wen heard this, he immediately asked without hesitation: "Since you saw it, why didn't you go after the cow and let someone take it away instead?"

As Shi Wen asked, he quietly glanced at Su Bian.

Su Bian caught Shi Wen's eyes, and his eyebrows moved slightly.

He said nothing, his face was calm.

When Shi heard the words, the old woman couldn't help but started to sob.

She cried: "I chased after him, but my legs were weak and I couldn't catch up."

When Shi Wen heard this, he frowned and asked: "Since we are chasing, how can we not catch up? That man is leading four cows, no matter how far he walks, there is no way he will not be able to catch up."

At this time, the old woman was crying and said again: "...It's strange to say, usually the cow is slow, and refuses to take a step even when whipped. Last night, for some reason, my legs were running fast.

It was broken, and I couldn't catch it. "

The old woman was wiping tears and sobbing again, looking very sad.

However, Su Bian did not see any hint of sadness from her eyes.Her eyes were calm and unwavering, and she sang along with Shi Wen, as if she was reciting a line.

The old woman cried twice, and was about to continue speaking. At this moment, Su Bian glanced down at her shoes, and suddenly asked, "When you chased me last night, you were wearing these shoes.

shoe? "

Su Bian spoke abruptly, causing the old woman to be taken aback.

She was stunned, wondering why Su Bian would ask her about her shoes.

She opened her mouth, and was about to answer yes subconsciously, but she immediately closed her mouth subconsciously after seeing Su Bian's eyes that seemed too deep.

——The sixth sense told her that she must not answer him like this.

But the old woman didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and didn't know how to answer it, so she could only look at Shi Wen who was standing aside.

Shi Wen didn't understand the meaning of Su Bian's words at first, but following Su Bian's words, he looked at the shoes under the old woman's feet, and after seeing the clean uppers on the old woman's feet, he immediately

understood.

Then, the eyes suddenly became subtle.

If she answered yes, then according to her statement that she did not catch up no matter how hard she tried, it is completely contradictory.

If they had been chasing for a long time, the uppers would not be so clean, there should be a lot of mud on them.

Shi Wen always claimed to be cautious and thoughtful, but he never thought of this detail.

Fortunately, Mrs. Liao didn't reply, if he just said...

He planned a night of hard work, and all the preparations, all in vain, turned into nothing.

Just now Shi Wen was still skeptical about the identity of Su Bian's servant, but at this time, Shi Wen was completely sure.

This person - is definitely not a servant.

However, if he is not a servant, what is his identity?

...and this lord, what is his identity?

Could it be that this person is an adult...

Then this lord... is actually this person's male favourite?

Shi Wen first glanced at Su Bian secretly, and then at Long Jingying, who was sitting on a chair with an exquisite appearance and an otherworldly demeanor.

But thinking of the scene of Su Bian serving the meticulous Long Jingying in the past few days, Shi Wen became uncertain again.

——But which adult would condescend to serve a male favorite like this?

Just as Shi Wen was thinking this way, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Long Jingying's handsome face from the corner of his eye. He, who was still hesitating just now, immediately had an answer.

Such an appearance makes people condescend, it seems to be quite normal...

After thinking about it, Shi Wen quietly shook his index finger and gave the old woman a look.

The old woman received the look, understood it, and immediately replied no.

After listening, Su Bian looked indifferent: "Really."

After Su Bian finished speaking, Shi Wen, who clearly knew what he meant just now, pretended not to know, and asked with a smile, "Why does this little brother suddenly ask this?"

Su Bian said expressionlessly, "Just ask, sir, don't think too much."

Shi Wen's smile didn't change: "I see."

Then, Shi Wen paused, and said again: "Does this little brother have anything else to ask?"

Su Bian said calmly, "No."

Shi Wen glanced at Su Bian, his smile deepened, and he turned his gaze back to the old woman kneeling in the hall.

Shi Wen then asked again: "What else, continue."

So what if it's not a servant?

Anyone who threatens him - must die.

The old woman looked at Shi Wen tremblingly, and then said, "What's even more strange is that when I chased after him, I only saw the footprints of the cow, not the trace of the thief who stole the cow."

footprint……"

Hearing this, the yamen servant at the side shook his body, unconsciously thinking of some unclean things.

Could it be... a ghost?

Thinking of ghosts, the yamen servant thought of the weird laughter he heard when he went to Chi Mansion two days ago.

Several people trembled, their backs trembling.

Shi Wen raised his eyebrows and asked again: "Are you really blind?"

The old woman kowtowed: "It's absolutely true, my lord!"

Shi Wen glanced at the old woman intently, then suddenly turned his gaze to Su Bian who was standing aside, and asked, "What's your opinion, little brother?"

Su Bian said coldly, "No."

Su Bian was a non-ghostist.

The meaning of "hint" is so obvious, Shi Wen thought that Su Bian would say something, but he didn't expect to say anything, which was a bit unexpected for Shi Wen.

So Shi Wen asked again.

Shi Wen asked again: "Little brother, do you really have nothing to say?"

Su Bian still had the same two words: "No."

Shi Wen said, "Really."

Shi Wen smiled and stopped asking further questions.

If you don't say it, that's fine.

He has given a chance to say his last words, and when he arrives in the underworld, don't blame him for not giving him a chance to say his last words.

Shi Wen turned his gaze to the old woman again, and said, "Where are the footprints, take me there to have a look."

The old woman answered yes, and slowly got up.

Then, Shi Wen turned to Long Jingying and said: "This case is very serious, and it may be difficult for Xiaguan to solve the case alone. If Your Excellency doesn't mind, I hope that Your Excellency will take the trouble to accompany Xiaguan for a while."

Long Jingying raised her eyes and looked at him quietly.

Shi Wen bent his body slightly, keeping his posture extremely low.

However, in the next second, Long Jingying uttered two words coldly.

Long Jingying said coldly: "No."

Shi Wen froze, raised his head in disbelief, and looked at Long Jingying.

Long Jingying didn't even look at Shi Wen, she just got up and left.

Shi Wen painstakingly planned and settled everything.It can be said that everything is ready, only Long Jingying is missing.

As long as Long Jingying is willing to go, then the 'servants' who follow him will also go.

In order to let Long Jingying go, Shi Wen even made up such absurd things as ghosts stealing cattle at night.

However, Shi Wen had thousands of calculations, but he never counted, and Long Jingying refused to go.

No.

It should be said that it was not counted, the person who was sitting on the chair just now was the thousand-year-old whom today's emperor would hardly see even if he wanted to see him—Prime Minister Long.

Even today's emperor can't invite him, so how could he, Shi Wen, and a small Huai'an county magistrate be able to invite him?

Long Jingying got up to leave, Su Bian bowed to Shi Wen, then turned and left.Tuliu Shiwen stood there alone, dazed in a daze.

After the two walked away for a long time, Shi Wen finally came back to his senses.

The old woman standing in the lobby of the yamen said at a loss, "My lord... the servant may have gone back now...?"

With a sullen face, Shi Wen cast a look at the yamen servant at the side.

The yamen servant understood, and slowly walked towards the old woman.

Looking at the yamen servant's sullen expression, the old woman suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.She stepped back slowly step by step, and said in horror: "My lord said that as long as I do what you say, my lord

Just let the servants off—my lord, you can’t count your words—”

Shi Wen was afraid that Su Bian and Long Jingying would hear, and said, "Cover her mouth."

The yamen servant replied: "Yes."

Then he stepped forward, covered the old woman's mouth, knocked her out immediately, and dragged her down.

Shi Wen has always been cautious and ruthless in doing things.

Otherwise, why has no one discovered the truth of the case for so many years until today.

Shi Wen watched the old woman being knocked out and dragged down with a sullen face, then he waved and called the servant who was hiding in the corner over.

The servant stepped forward, "My lord."

Shi Wen's face was gloomy, "Let Qin Ye send some people from the village to prepare to do something tonight. Tell him, no matter what, we can't let this guy survive tonight."

The servant took the order, said yes, and stepped back slowly.
